We are pleased the District Court in Nuremberg has granted our application for an interim injunction against adidas for patent infringement by the “adizero primeknit” shoe released in July, 2012. As a result, adidas has been ordered to stop the manufacture and distribution of the shoe in Germany.
Nike has a strong heritage of innovation and leadership in footwear design and development. Our patents are the foundation of that leadership and we protect them vigorously. In this case, the injunction helps protect the innovative Nike Flyknit footwear technology Nike introduced in February, 2012.
We look forward to presenting our case for a permanent injunction to the court.

Kanye West made a statement awhile back saying, “I ain’t tryna stunt man, but these Yeezy’s jumped over the Jumpman.” Referring to his past release of the Nike Air Yeezy 2, which had a successful drop that left the “Military Blue” Air Jordan 4 not selling out on the same release day.
However, with Kanye West only dropping a shoe every couple years; we move on to a much bigger topic with LeBron and Jordan. Not on their game, but on their popular brands. Nike is currently celebrating their 10th anniversary of the Nike LeBron (which is rare these days) whom the only person that has had such a success with one brand is none-other than Michael Jordan. With the Nike LeBron X already creating a huge buzz around the world, it’s now officially time to start debating on whether the Nike LeBron will ever out-trump the iconic Jumpman? Jordan Brand is only hanging on with their retro’s, while Nike LeBron is at the peak of the game. Michael Jordan and Nike set the bar for brands to become where they are now, however the debate begins will there ever be another shoe as big as the legendary Air Jordans?
Leave your thoughts below, and comment on this matter? Will Nike LeBron Ever Jump Over the Jumpman?
The Nike LeBron X “Wind Chill” or “Blue Diamond” was one of the first makeup of the 10th-anniversary of the LeBron’s to come-to-light. Dropping in a full-size run that will become available next month. Featuring a Photo Blue/Wind Chill-Pool Blue makeup with White detailing throughout. You can now secure your GS size over at City Sole.

On March 18th, 1995, Michael Jordan announced his return to the NBA in only 2 words, “I’m Back”. The first game back the Chicago Bulls faced the Indiana Pacers and MJ wore the number 45 (his number with the Barons), as his 23 was retired in honor of his retirement. He put up 19 points and took viewing of the highest Nielsen rating regular season NBA game.
Since that day, the #45 has been more than just a number which Jordan Brand has used on many samples including the upcoming Air Jordan 11 “Bred”. Here is a detailed Video Review of the #45 Sample Air Jordan 11 “Bred” that we could only wish would actually release. Let us know which pair would you rather have, the #23 or #45 on the back heel? Enjoy!
The Air Jordan XVI (16) was a rebirth to the Jordan Brand after releasing a down-fall Air Jordan XV. The “Ginger” Air Jordan XVI was one of the more demanded pair that featured the Washington Wizards color-sheme. The “Ginger” AJ 16 was the only pair that featured a full-suede upper in a Golden colorway. Did you happen to pass on this release when they dropped back in 2001?
Where do you rank the Air Jordan XVI (16) in your head amongst the full 1-23 Collection? Do you think it’s time to see them retro (but not in a pack)? If Jordan Brand did, would you want to re-cop the “Ginger” Air Jordan XVI? Lastly, what did you think of the whole removable strap that these featured?
